I’ve asked Keith for Sunday off - given
•
Lauren’s looking forwards to Sylhet more than I am
•
Very few people in Dhaka don’t know of my trip to Sylhet. I’m going to look a twit with them too.
•
Wasn’t small pox eradicated a few years ago?
Years later, re-telling this story, the feedback has been uniformly that we were lucky es-
capees, and Mr Abul Shah’s motives were anything but honourable. Lies breed mistrust—
normally a powerful Sunday School lesson for little kids. The paradox of this Machiavel-
lian contest here is that we’d managed to earn Abul’s mistrust, which excused us from his
unknown, but certainly unscrupulous plans. Now that’s irony...
When I was about five years old, I remember so well my Dad telling me this poem:
“When I was walking up a stair
I met a man who wasn’t there
He wasn’t there again today
I wish I wish he’d go away.”
So, the Abul Shah story occupied a few pages of my diary, which was quite a feat since it’s
a story about something that didn’t happen. Phew! But this twenty-two-year-old medical
student had promised his new bride a wonderful holiday—not a good look.
2 – Solution: Go.
3 – Problem: How?
4 - Answer: Ask Dr Ali. He’s always chatting about Sylhet, and he’s got family there—handy
